Well, here we are in the first week of January huh? Well don't worry about those resolutions, you'll break all of them soon. I know, I know, you want to be happy, healthier, better with money, new job.....stop me when I get to the one your either going to break, or already have broke. See, I think it is all a crock. I think your resolutions should be made on your birthday. YOUR new year, not the one you share with the masses. That way there would be far less pressure and more success. The way it is now, from December 31st until Feb 1st every A-hole and their mother asks you "whats you resolutions, you sticking with it..muahahahahahaha". To which I would like to answer "No, I didn't make any new ones this year probably because I rock and don't need fixing". Is it true? Partially, I like me, my values and who I am. I am sure that other people don't think so, but they don't have to live my life. But for the sake of argument here are some things I would change about me.....
1. "I am going to lose weight" - OK, I could probably lose to drop about 20 lbs., and then I think of the people at the food store, I start eating less what would happen to their bottom line? These people depend on me to keep food on their loved ones table, and I am a giver......So I can not let them down, I refuse.
2. "Come January 1, no more smoking" - That's right, I will not allow myself to be set on fire and have my body smoke for the sake of entertainment, what you thought I meant cigarettes??? HA HA HA
3. "I am going to be better with money" - No more putting it though the wash or pissing it away to charities, I am going keep it all for myself, I can take it with me when I die.
4. "I am going to treat me fellow man better" - I would never make this resolution because I understand that that woman are equally important, and I am not a sexist. So, try again.
5. "I am going to be better to the environment" - DONE, long before it was cool to drive a low gas mileage vehicle, and hug trees, I was driving a little 4 cylinder pick up that gets 27 mpg (I figured that out driving across the country) , Move over Al Gore, I want my Nobel Prize.
6. "I will remember that telemarketers are people too" - People that have no soul I may add. And I am not forgetting that. Go ahead call me when I am sleeping one more time and try to sell me a LARK........
7. "I am going to try and just be a better person and American" - This one is realistic. You see, were have become a society in which someone with a degree or a TV show constantly telling me how I should improve myself. Lose weight, quit smoking, worry about the environment etc... Here is a novel idea, TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF AND FAMILY, and then TAKE CARE OF THE COUNTRY. I am sick and tired of watching people disgrace themselves and my country. HAVE SOME DAMN COMMON SENSE, and do the right thing. Help people when they need it, REALLY NEED IT, get some self pride and pride in your country. I am not saying that people aren't proud, but they are only proud a few days a year, i.e. July 4th, 9/11, etc. That pride you feel those days to be an American, HAVE IT EVERYDAY. Where an American Flag pin on your suit, get an American flag sticker on your car, teach your children the rich history of this country. I am not saying you have to join the military, you don't have to you live in a country that has a voluntary service law. So don't disrespect the place that lets you be free. And if you don't feel this way, get up off your ass and run for government. It is your right! I don't agree with many politicians, I will defend to the death their right to say it.
So, that's it I am issuing everyone that challenge. Once a week, learn something new about our country and teach it to your kids if u have them. Read about the sacrifices American service men and woman, Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters and everyone else who have made sacrifices for us all the way back to the revolutionary war. I know this isn't a perfect nation, but look around we are one of the closest to being so. So, go wave a flag and Happy New YEAR....and I remind everyone to read my disclaimer on my first post if u don't agree.
